I’m planning a trip to Santorini and I’m really looking forward to hitting the water. I’m particularly interested in renting a jet ski to explore the coastline, but I’ve never done it before in Greece, so I’d love some advice.

Can anyone recommend the best places in Santorini to rent a jet ski? I’m looking for a reputable rental spot with good-quality equipment and fair prices. Also, are there any specific areas around the island that are especially great to explore by jet ski, like hidden beaches or cool rock formations?

I’d also appreciate any tips on what to expect in terms of safety, required licenses, or permits for jet skiing in Santorini. Is it worth booking in advance, or is it easy to rent on the spot?
 
Exploring Santorini by jet ski sounds like an exhilarating adventure! For reputable rental spots, check out Perivolos Beach and Kamari Beach, as both offer reliable jet ski rental companies with good-quality equipment. Wavesports and Santorini Jet Ski are popular options with positive reviews. They usually have various packages, and prices are generally fair, though booking in advance can sometimes score you a better deal.

As for spots to explore, head towards the southern coastline for incredible views of the Red Beach, White Beach, and the dramatic cliffs near the Akrotiri lighthouse. The volcanic islets and hidden coves around the caldera are also fantastic, but be cautious as the waters can be choppy.

Staying Somewhere Quiet in Santorini?

I’m planning a trip to Santorini and am looking for recommendations on where to stay. I’ve heard a lot about how busy Oia and Fira can get, especially during peak season, so I’d love to find a quieter spot where I can really relax.

I don’t need to be right by the famous caldera views, though a nice view would still be a bonus. I’m more interested in peaceful surroundings, fewer crowds, and maybe a charming village vibe.

Has anyone stayed in places like Pyrgos, Megalochori, or somewhere else that might fit the bill? Any specific accommodations you’d recommend?

I’d really appreciate any tips or advice from those who’ve been to Santorini. Thanks so much!

Saving Money in Santorini?

I'm planning a trip to Santorini but am a bit concerned about the costs. I've heard that it can be quite an expensive destination, especially with all the luxury hotels and high-end restaurants. However, I'm determined to experience the beauty of Santorini without breaking the bank.

Can anyone share tips or advice on how to do Santorini on a budget? I'm looking for affordable accommodation options—maybe hostels, budget hotels, or even good Airbnbs. Also, what are some budget-friendly places to eat where I can still enjoy authentic Greek cuisine?

Are there free or low-cost activities and sights that you would recommend? I'm particularly interested in enjoying the famous sunsets, exploring the villages, and maybe visiting a few beaches or hiking trails.

Any advice on saving money on transportation around the island would also be greatly appreciated.

Must-See Things to See or Do in Santorini?

I’m heading to Santorini for three days on my next trip, and I want to make the most of my time there! Since it's a short visit, I’d love recommendations on the absolute must-see sights and experiences that I shouldn’t miss.

Of course, I plan to catch at least one famous Oia sunset, but beyond that, I’m torn between exploring villages like Pyrgos or Megalochori, hiking from Fira to Oia, or doing a caldera boat tour to the volcano and hot springs. Are these worth it, or would you prioritize something else?

I also love good food and wine, so if you have restaurant recommendations for authentic Greek meals or a winery with an amazing view, I’m all ears!

Basically, if you had only three days, what would be your top experiences? Any hidden gems or tips for making the most of my time? Looking forward to your suggestions!

Santorini Volcano Tour?

I'm planning a trip to Santorini and am really interested in taking a volcano tour. I've read a bit about the different options available, but I would love to hear some personal experiences and advice from those who have done it.

Is it worth it to take a guided tour, or is it easy enough to explore on your own by renting a boat? Also, are there any specific tours or companies you'd recommend?

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your recommendations.

Flying to Santorini from Toronto?

I'm planning a trip to Santorini from Toronto and would love some advice! What are the best flight routes and airlines to consider? Any tips on layovers or the most convenient connections? I'm also interested in knowing about the best times to book for good deals and any travel hacks to make the journey smoother. Additionally, any recommendations on what to do upon arrival in Santorini to quickly adjust to the local time and make the most of my stay would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help. I don't plan to go anywhere else in Greece and just want to figure out the best way to minimize travel time and simply just get there as quickly as I can. I have to go for a wedding.
